DFU package creation error using nftutil

nyni

When creating dfu package using nrfutil, an error is displayed.

TypeError: '>' not supported between instances of 'NoneType' and 'int'

When I looked for and checked the file where the error occurred, a problem occurred in Python's max function.

    def minaddr(self):
        min_address = super().minaddr()
        
        # Lower addresses are reserved for master boot record
        if self.file_format != 'bin':
            min_address = max(self.get_mbr_end_address(), min_address)

        return min_address

The value of min_address appears as None.

How do I solve this problem?

Used command : 

nrfutil.exe pkg generate --hw-version 99 --sd-req 0x80 --application-version 99 --application blinky_pca10056.hex test.zip

    Hi, 

    (Updated)

    If you use blinky_pca10056.hex from nRF5_SDK\examples\peripheral\blinky\hex, you should use blinky_pca10056_mbr.hex which combines the mbr image.  Set --sd_req 0x00 which means "The update does not depend on the SoftDevice".  Then the following command could work

    nrfutil pkg generate --hw-version 52 --sd-req 0x00 --application-version 99 --application blinky_pca10056_mbr.hex test.zip

    --

    If you use ble_app_blinky_pca10056_s140.hex under nRF5_SDK\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_blinky\hex, then the following command should work

    nrfutil.exe pkg generate --hw-version 52 --sd-req 0xB6 --application-version 99 --application ble_app_blinky_pca10056_s140.hex test.zip

    You could use "nrfutil.exe pkg generate --help" to check the SoftDevice ID. 

    Notice that we are entering the Christmas and New Year holidays and will have reduced staff, please expect delayed responses until after January 4th. Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Happy new year.
    Thanks for the comment.

    I solved the problem with the suggested solution.
    However, a new problem arose.

    I changed the value of "--sd-req" to 0x0100, but the same error occurs.

    Does the device have SD image? If so, What is the version? If not, flash the softdevice.hex with nRF Connect Programmer and load secure_bootloader_uart_mbr_pca10056_debug project (I think you are using this). Then update the app again.
